Li Geyue frowned and remained silent for a while before hesitantly nodding.
"I hurt Xiaoyu?" He looked at the two people present.
Shen Yun nodded. "He has now returned to his palace to rest."
Li Ge lowered her head and remained silent.
Ji Mofan glanced at his expression and thought to himself that he was still just a child.
Because he almost killed someone, he was now panicked and at a loss, his hands trembling at his sides.
Although Ji Mofan always felt that he had never disgraced the reputation of a prestigious sect, if you think about it carefully, he was not entirely without having harmed innocent people.
It may sound arrogant, but justice is essentially the tyranny of the majority over the minority. When someone has to be sacrificed, the method that minimizes the loss is always the optimal solution.
Therefore, even with blood on his hands, Ji Mofan never wavered in the direction of his sword.
Even if the sword is often pointed at himself.
But Li Geyue's current state is clearly different from before.
"Master, let Junior Brother go and check on Xiao Yu," Ji Mo Fan suggested at the opportune moment.
What Ji Mo Fan could understand, Shen Yun could naturally understand as well.
If we don't help him resolve his inner conflicts today, his inner demons will only grow stronger in the future.
But Qi Fengyu was just seriously injured by Li Geyue, and now he's being asked to go visit him...
Shen Yun hesitated for a moment.
“Let’s go.” He looked up and made his decision. “At least Ge Yue should apologize to Xiao Yu.”
He was caught off guard because the incident happened so suddenly. Now, with him by his side at all times, he wouldn't give Li Geyue another chance to hurt anyone.
"Don't worry, you attacked Xiaoyu because your mind was affected by your inner demons." Seeing that Li Geyue's expression was still unpleasant, Shen Yun stepped forward and gently patted his shoulder. "Xiaoyu will definitely understand, he won't blame you."
Li Ge forced out a rather strained smile.

Ji Mo Fan followed him there.
He wasn't just there to watch the show; he still had half the performance to deliver.
"Senior Brother, do you really think Xiao Yu won't blame me?" Li Geyue couldn't help but ask Ji Mofan on the way there.
Even true disciples within the inner sect are not allowed to fly on swords, so in order to get there faster, Li Geyue rode on the same sword as Ji Mofan.
However, Ji Mofan was unwilling to let others trample on his sword; he held Li Geyue firmly in his hand.
Shen Yun walked ahead, unaware that the two kids behind him were whispering to each other.
"I don't know either." Ji Mofan didn't give Li Geyue a reassuring answer. "It depends on how you explain it to him later. If you can explain what you saw in your inner demons and there are extenuating circumstances, Xiaoyu definitely won't hold it against you."
Ji Mofan's words were as good as nothing, but they also reminded Li Geyue of why his inner demons had erupted.
Thinking of that unspeakable reason, Li Geyue didn't even dare to look Ji Mofan in the eye, and he buried his head deep in his eyes.
He vaguely heard a soft laugh from above.
The sound was so soft that he almost thought it was his imagination. He subconsciously peeked over and saw that the corners of Ji Mofan's mouth seemed to have indeed lifted up by an almost imperceptible amount.
“It’s okay. Just tell Xiaoyu the truth. Even if he doesn’t forgive you, he’ll definitely understand you.” Ji Mofan’s voice gently reached his ears. “After all, he’s the most understanding person.”
The love potion was stirring in her chest, and Li Ge heard her heartbeat suddenly amplify once again.
Thump, thump.
Is Qi Fengyu good at understanding people?
He's just too good at understanding people! Every single word he said in the main hall just now was an attempt to shift the blame onto the senior brother.
Ji Mofan noticed that the child in his hands was becoming unsteady again.
He didn't say anything, but silently followed behind Shen Yun on his sword.
This was only the second time Ji Mofan had entered Qi Fengyu's bedchamber since his rebirth.
Unlike the exquisite and luxurious arrangement last time, his room is now missing a lot of things.
It's all thanks to Jimo Fan's last major accounting overhaul.
Qi Fengyu lay quietly on the bed, while a servant knelt beside him, applying medicine to his wounds little by little.
Upon seeing Shen Yun and the others, he obediently bowed to them and then withdrew.
"Elder Shen, Senior Brother, Junior Brother Li." Qi Fengyu's face was pale, but she still greeted people with a smile, which made people's hearts clench and ache.
He is indeed very good at using his advantages to gain all the benefits that are rightfully his and those that are not.
"Xiao Yu, have the people from Medical Peak already come?" Shen Yun asked first, seeing that there was no one else in the room.
"Elder Chen has already come and prepared the medicine for me." Qi Fengyu's voice was soft and low, and she coughed twice as she spoke, as if she were casually touching the gauze wrapped around her neck.
The white gauze was slightly askew, revealing a tiny bit of bright red wound.
It's so pitiful.
Shen Yun felt his pulse and released his spiritual power to examine him. He found that his condition was indeed stable, so he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to push Li Geyue out.
“Xiao Yu, I brought Ge Yue here so that he could apologize to you,” he said. “You two are fellow disciples, so it’s really not right for you to make such a big fuss over such an unclear reason.”
"It's alright, I don't blame Junior Brother Li." Qi Fengyu gave a pale smile. "He lost control of his body because of his inner demons. I was just unlucky to be standing closest to him."
That was indeed the correct standing position in the main hall. Qi Fengyu had even found the steps for Li Geyue, just waiting for him to lift his foot and step down.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu." Li Geyue stepped forward, bent down and took Qi Fengyu's hand. "I couldn't control myself and my body was controlled by my inner demons."
Qi Fengyu was just about to say a few more sweet words to coax Li Geyue to let the matter slide, and then play the victim to get some benefits from him.
"but."
The pain from her hand abruptly stopped Qi Fengyu from speaking.
“Xiao Yu, you shouldn’t have said that about Senior Brother.” Li Geyue held Qi Fengyu’s hand tightly. “Senior Brother has always been sincere to the sect and to us. Your speculation has also troubled Senior Brother.”
“I apologize to you, and you should also apologize to your senior brother.”
"Ugh... Junior Brother Li, loosen your grip first..." Qi Fengyu was almost in tears from being squeezed so tightly.
The faint sound of bones cracking reached everyone's ears.
Shen Yun reacted the fastest. He grabbed Li Geyue's collar and used his other hand to flick two streams of spiritual energy, which dispersed Qi Fengyu's bed curtains.
The light gauze with defensive runes fell quickly, and the spiritual flames that rushed towards it were extinguished in the next second, leaving the bed curtains as clean and new as ever.
